MINSK, 27 September (BelTA) – The work of a researcher is the most difficult one, while the work of a university rector is most interesting, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said as he met with students of engineering universities in Minsk on 27 September, BelTA has learned.
The head of state said that back in the day he was offered to engage in research work at the university. The proposed topic dealt with the Resistance Movement in Western Europe during World War II. However, Aleksandr Lukashenko declined the offer, because the work of a researcher, in his opinion, is extremely hard.
“I closely follow and pay much attention to the work of scientists and teachers. I myself was a teacher, a lecturer. For me, this is the most difficult job. The hardest work is to write theses, do research. I simply idolize these people,” the president said.
According to the head of state, the work of a university rector is the most interesting one. “I view this as a dream job. It's interesting: young people around, you communicate with students, you talk. I really like it. That's why, when I appoint rectors, I envy them,” said Aleksandr Lukashenko.
